Happy Birthday to Us

Happy birthday! I'm not sure if even Tony Dungy can save Indy's defence, but I'll guess we'll have to wait and see. Also, my pick for this year's Stanley Cup is Detroit. In five. Over the Cinderella-story 'Canes. Anyone wanna put up money against that?

New Wii User: Recommend a soccer title?

I bought MLB Power Pros in June, and I've played it pretty much every day since. It's like they took Wii Sports baseball and made it into real baseball. The gameplay is pretty solid, and it has several different ways to play: you can play a season as a manager, a GM, or you can swing at every single pitch. There's also a career mode in which you're a college freshman trying to make it to the bigs; it plays a little like a Japanese soap opera, but it's still pretty fun.

So if you don't mind strangely-coloured Japanese-style menus, and you like your MLB players round and cartoony, it's a great game of ball.

We have the Cuisinart CBK-200, which sounds more like a piece of military equipment. Kind of looks like one, too. Apparently it also makes jam, but we haven't made it that far. Woke up to our first overnight loaf this morning, made with the fast-rising yeast. It had risen a little funny and lumpy, but was pretty tasty.
